The Collector Car Podcast

At Moda Miami, the cars are spectacular but the stories behind them are even better. In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I speak with the owners of three unforgettable machines: an ultra-rare Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider, a brutal vintage Allard J2X race car, and a seldom-seen Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda from the golden era of Mopar muscle.
We talk about how these cars were found, what it's really like to own them, and the stories that never make it onto concours placards. From the exclusivity of the NART Spider to the raw racing spirit of the Allard and the tire-smoking legend of a Hemi Mopar, this episode captures the passion that fuels the collector car world.

What happens when vintage American steel meets modern performance engineering?
This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with Daniel van Doveren of Vigilante 4x4 to talk about the booming world of high-end Jeep restomods. Vigilante has quietly become one of the most respected names in the space, transforming classic Willys and early Jeep models into fully reengineered machines with modern drivetrains, refined interiors, and show-stopping craftsmanship.
Daniel shares how Vigilante 4x4 approaches restoration versus reinvention, what collectors are really looking for in today's vintage 4x4 market, and why properly executed restomods are earning serious respect alongside traditional concours restorations.
We also dive into:
The rising demand for classic SUVs and 4x4s

What separates a high-quality restomod from a quick build

The economics behind six-figure custom Jeeps

Why early utility vehicles are becoming lifestyle statements

If you've ever wondered whether restomods belong in serious collections — this episode may change your perspective.

The spring auction season is here — and the collector car market is about to speak loud and clear.
In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I break down the headline cars and sleeper opportunities coming to RM Sotheby's Miami, plus the powerhouse offerings headed to Broad Arrow Auctions and Gooding Christie's at Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
Which cars will set the tone for the 2026 market? Where are reserves positioned smartly — and where might sellers be pushing? Are we seeing strength in blue-chip Ferraris and Porsches… or are modern collectibles and analog supercars stealing the spotlight?
From seven-figure headline cars to six-figure entry points, I walk through:
• Market trends I'm seeing behind the scenes • Cars I'd personally target (and why) • Potential record-breakers • Smart buys for emerging enthusiasts • And a few surprises that could shake up the weekend
If you're buying, selling, or simply trying to understand where the collector car market is heading next — this is your insider preview.
Let's dive in.

Podcast Description: In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with Alex Manos, founder of Beverly Hills Car Club, to talk about one of the most fascinating business models in the classic car world.
From humble beginnings to becoming one of the largest classic car dealerships in the country, Alex shares how he built a global buying machine—acquiring everything from barn-find Jaguars and long-forgotten Ferraris to everyday classics that most dealers overlook. We dig into:
How Beverly Hills Car Club sources hundreds of cars annually

Why condition and presentation aren't always the priority

The truth about buying sight unseen

Trends he's seeing in international demand

What types of cars are getting harder to find

Advice for collectors looking to buy or sell in today's market

Alex operates at scale in a way few in our hobby do, and whether you agree with his model or not, you can't ignore the impact he's had on the collector car ecosystem.
If you've ever wondered how large-volume classic car operations really work behind the scenes—this one's for you.
Listen in for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about supply, demand, margins, and the global appetite for classic cars.
